Jesse, I received the first bottle of Heal-n-Soothe when I was still taking prescribed pain medication and anti-inflammatories and I didn't want to take any chances. I waited a week after these ran out to start my trial of Heal-n-Soothe. I guess the best way to start is to tell my story. I am an avid cyclist and a typical Saturday bicycle ride for me was from 50 to 100 miles. On May 25th 2019, I was struck from behind by a pickup truck that was traveling 60 mph, so the fact that I'm alive is a miracle.I had numerous injuries, but the major ones are that the accident shattered my pelvis on the right side and tore all the ligaments in my right knee. Attached is a picture of the X-Ray after my surgery.I had 3 knee surgeries to reconstruct my knee, with the final surgery late May 2020 to restore my range of motion. I have gone from taking very strong pain medication to lower levels and now with Heal-n-Soothe I am not taking any pain medication at all.I wanted to give Heal-n-Soothe a fair try and started taking it July 1st 2020. I have already, towards the end of July, noticed a big difference in my pain level and the inflammation in my knee. Thank you for giving us alternatives to pharmaceuticals. I have spent my life avoiding pharmaceuticals and using alternatives."
